Yes: ORGAN AND BLOOD DONATION People with NF1 can donate their blood and organs to other people who are in need of blood or an organ transplant. The person who receives their blood and/or organs will not develop NF1 as a result of the blood/organ donation. good link http://www.inspire.com/groups/neurofibromatosis-network/discussion/organ-donation/
